13 Ultimate Guest Room Essentials

What is it about the word luxury that appeals to us? Does it personify comfort? Perhaps it guarantees fulfillment and satisfaction because of a premium cost? Actually, the answer is no. Luxury has very little to do with money. In fact, luxury can be defined in many ways, depending on who you ask. To me it’s more about how the object or experience makes us feel.

I cannot help but think of the methodical practice of preparing for upcoming guests. A guest room should be inviting, relaxing and comforting for those you welcome into your home. How would you want to feel if you stayed with friends? It can be unnerving to stay in someone else’s home. We often feel that we are imposing and our daily routines can be thrown off, which can make us anxious.

So create a beautiful experience for your guests, to help influence their mood. Do everything you can to make them feel at home. Luxury is not about expense, but how you make your guests feel while they stay, and it also doesn’t need to be fussy and or complicated for you. Use great linens, have fluffy towels, and surround your guests with all the things they love!

Give all guests large Luxury bath towels and include several hand towels and wash cloths. Put these items in there room for easy access.

Store extra blankets and pillows in the closet or in a cabinet in case your guest’s need them.
